Home gardeners can start vegetables from seeds following expert steps from Kansas State University. Germinate seeds in warm 80 to 90 degrees, keep moist, transplant to larger containers after 3 to 7 days, then provide 15 hours daily light and 65 to 75 degree warmth. Harden seedlings outside a few days before final garden transplant.
Gardening expert Chuck Marr of State University explains storing and growing potatoes for year round use. Plant in early spring around mid March as a cool season crop. Cut four seed pieces per potato and plant two to three inches deep then mound soil into a 12 inch high ridge. Dig tubers when vines yellow and die, store in a cool dark place. Recommended varieties for Kansas include LaSoda LaRouge Norland Kennebec Norchip and Superior.
Kansas climate and soils suit local fruit growing. Frank Morrison of Kansas State University argues that fresh berries such as strawberries raspberries and blackberries from the home garden taste better than shipped fruit and that fruit plants can double as landscape plants.
